James Wade wins through to the final including wins over Dick van Dijk, Andy Hamilton, Chris Mason and Barrie Bates on the way.

Unfortunately for him Peter Manley averages over 108 to take the title in a 3-0 sets win.

James does however move up to tenth in the PDC Order of Merit.

Andy Jenkins fares better, going down by 5 legs to 1 in the quarter finals to Colin Osborne.

In his opening match against Wales he is unfortunate to draw an in form Mark Webster who has the throw in the odd legs. Mark wins by three legs to two and is the only Welsh player to average over ninety on the day.

Only John Walton, Tony Eccles and Scott Waites have better averages today than Roy so hopefully he will get a second game tomorrow against Scotland. The England Wales clash ends in a 6-6 draw.

Basingstoke based Roy finished 10th in the British Inter County Average table this season with eight wins from nine at over 84 a throw.

Former News of the World Champion Paul Cook from Swindon beat Nillson Pritchard 4-2 to win the Brian Fox Singles. Paul Hogan and Jason Cook reached the last four.

Promoter John Bartlett was delighted with the afternoon, which raised £500 for the "Heart of Darts" charity. Click on Heart of Darts for more information. The events will be repeated at the same time of year in 2008 at the Academy Club, Basingstoke.

Paul Hogan faces Ronnie Baxter (8.35 p.m.), Ron Meulenkamp (9.25 p.m.) and Richie Burnett (10.15 p.m.).

Friday's matches are the best of nine legs.

Should Andy win through, his second phase group opponents will be Colin Lloyd, Co Stompé and Tony O'Shea. Paul, if successful would be grouped with Phil Taylor, Niels de Ruiter and Mark Webster.

Aldershot star James Wade is exempt from the first phase and will open his campaign in a group with Darryl Fitton, Dennis Priestley and the winner of a first phase pool comprising Robert Hughes, Mark Barilli, Jelle Klaasen and Robbie Green.

The event gets underway on Friday 4th May and the final is on Sunday 13th May. SBS6 TV is covering the event in the Netherlands from the last 32 onwards.

Hampshire end the season in fifth position in the overall table and Warwickshire and Staffordshire are relegated to the First Division. Cheshire and Middlesex return to the top flight in their places.

The Men's A team finish third in their section.

Steve Phipps played his 100th game this afternoon and Roy Brown set a new Men's Appearance record of 148 appearances, finally overhauling Roger Whitcombe's total of 147 which has headed the list since he retired in 1993.

Only Jenny Fenton has now played more matches for Hampshire with a massive total of 216 between her 1977 debut and 2003 retirement.

Best winning performances are Jane Monaghan and Roy Brown.

The eight qualifiers are Chris Mason, Wayne Jones, Richie Burnett, Alan Tabern, Mark Dudbridge, Matt Clark, Robbie Green and PDC new boy Kevin McDine.

The 32 man field will be divided into eight pools of four, then four pools of four and then a straight knockout from the quarter finals onwards.

James Wade is already included in the main event which is made up of the top 12 in the PDC Order of Merit and the top 12 from the BDO invitation list.

The final eight places will come from a Friday night qualifying phase which comprises 8 groups of 4. The players involved here are the numbers 13 to 16 from the PDC Order of Merit, 4 promoter's wildcards, 16 further players from the BDO invitation list and eight PDPA qualifiers.

Andy Jenkins and Paul Hogan will both be involved at this phase and could be joined by three other Hampshiremen at the weekend.

Ian Critchett, Jamie Kelling and Colin Monk are all four wins away from a trip to Holland as they take part in the PDPA qualifying competition at Aston Villa's Holte Suite on Saturday.

Roy Brown defeated Paul Gibbs 4-2 in the final. Kev Ede and Paul Hogan reached the semi-finals and Arron Monk, Paul Cook, Dennis Murrell and Andy Saunders featured in the quarter-finals.

Shaun White, Kevan Merritt, Sam Rooney, Rob Carr, Brian McNally, Joe Lacey, Ben Bran and Kevin Murrell all reached the last sixteen and Brian McNally's 158 was the top finish of the day.

Terry Jenkins goes on to beat Colin Lloyd  in the final of the first Antwerp Darts Trophy.

The sad news has been received that Dave Coward has passed away. Dave was particularly known in the south-west of the county and will be sorely missed.

Funeral arrangements will be notified when available.

www.hcdo.co.uk sends its condolences to Dave's family and friends at this sad time.

Sally loses to eventual winner Francis Hoenselaar while James is beaten by Darren Webster who makes the semi-final before the Men's champion Terry Jenkins ends his run.

Paul Gibbs defeated Dennis Smith 7-4 in the final to take the £1000 top prize. Dennis Smith added £300 to his winnings from Andover on Saturday

Promoter Darren Oakley assures me that the event will now become a regular Easter Monday fixture and hopes to improve the prize fund yet again next year.

Cosham's Andy Jenkins will face Raymond van Barneveld, Phil Taylor, Peter Manley, John Part and Colin Lloyd.

SkyTV pundit Rod Harrington was second to Alan McInally in the series opener involving sports presenters last Tuesday and the other heats over the next few weeks involve stars from Boxing, Cricket, Football, Rugby and Snooker.

The overall winner of the final involving the winner from each sport will pocket £20,000.

Details of the Summer Super League Annual Team Meeting

Results in detail: 1. (£1000) Dennis Smith, 2. (£500) Mark Walsh, 3-4. (£250) Aaron Turner, Mark Haskett. 5-8. (£125) Sam Rooney, James Wade, Kev Ede, Peter Evison. 9-16. (£50) Paul Gibbs, Colin Monk, Peter Bailey. Lionel Sams, Paul Cook, Wes Newton, Ali MacDonald, Arron Monk.

James Wade's excellent form over the eight regional finals qualifies him in second place behind title-holder Raymond van Barneveld. Andy Jenkins finishes in 30th place. Both will join the event in Round 4 and will be guaranteed a payday of £1,000 no matter what happens.

Colin Monk comes into the event in Round 3 after placing 52nd.

Aaron Turner will start in Round 1 but Bob Crawley, Jason Crawley and Rikki Williams could face a preliminary round match before the first round starts.

Andy, Bob, Colin and James have qualified for each of the five UK Open Grand finals to date. Aaron has appeared at Bolton before but it will be a new experience for young players Jason Crawley and Rikki Williams.

It is a tremendous achievement for Rikki who has only taken part in 5 pro tour events so far. Obviously playing under the same guidance of Jason Thame that Andy Jenkins and James Wade enjoy pays dividends!

32 Amateur qualifiers from Punch Taverns will join the 144 players already qualified and "The FA Cup of Darts" starts on Thursday 7 June 2007, continues on the Friday and Saturday and concludes on the Sunday. The draw will take place on 14 May 2007.

A top notch Mens A match results in a narrow 7-5 win for Yorkshire. Roy Brown wins with a 97 average and Kev Ede wins with 96. Nillson Pritchard loses despite an average of 110.5 a throw. John Burbidge makes his 100th appearance at the end of the afternoon.

Wendy Reinstadtler is the pick of the Ladies A team in their 2-4 defeat.

Yorkshire take the weekend by 19-17.
